Stoke City vs Bolton Wanderers - Match Preview

Bolton Wanderers travel to the Britannia Stadium to take on Stoke knowing that a victory may not even be enough to secure Premier League football next season. In the unlikely event of Queens Park Rangers defeating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, a win would still see Bolton relegated. Kick-off time is at 3pm and the match is not televised live anywhere in the UK. Stoke could be missing left-back Marc Wilson who was brought off at half-time in last weekend's defeat to Queens Park Rangers with a back problem. Manager Tony Pulis will assess him before today's game to prove his fitness. Defender Andy Wilkinson (groin) and Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) should be fit for the game, whilst Denmark international 'keeper Thomas Sorensen will hope to play in goal to build up some more match fitness ahead of the Euro 2012 tournament. For Bolton boss Owen Coyle, Nigel Reo-Coker (leg) and Mark Davies (virus) are expected to be available for selection despite the duo missing training sessions this week. Darren Pratley (virus) could also play having took part in some light training at the Euxton Complex this week. Winger Lee Chung-Yong played in last weekend's 2-2 draw with West Brom after making a comeback from the broken leg he suffered last summer. Full-back Gretar Steinsson (thigh), centre-half David Wheater (cruciate knee ligament damage) are long-term casualties.
